tengcm Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP, ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO CONTINUE? Yes. ARE YOU REALLY SURE? Yes. ARE YOU REALLY REALLY SURE? *****yes!****** OK, THEN. JUST SO YOU KNOW, WE'RE REQUIRED TO ASK YOU THAT NOW. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT FOR BEING A PICKY CONSUMER AND SUPPORTING THAT WHOLE "ANTI-TRUST" NONSENSE. INGRATE. Just get on with it. ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL WINDOWS XP. FIRST WE NEED TO CHECK YOUR SYSTEM FOR COMPATIBILITY. THIS COULD TAKE SEVERAL DAYS. Groan. THE INSTALL PROGRAM HAS DETECTED SEVERAL POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND WILL NOT LET YOU INSTALL XP. Problems? What problems? THE VIDEO CARD YOU ARE USING APPARENTLY DOES NOT WORK WITH THE MOTHERBOARD. But I'm using it at this very moment. THAT IS IRRELEVANT. But if the video card isn't working with the mother board then I can't very well see this warning message telling me that the video card wasn't... DO NOT ATTEMPT TO FOOL ME WITH LOGIC, I AM A MICROSOFT PRODUCT. LOGIC DOES NOT WORK ON ME. I HAVE ALSO FOUND THE FOLLOWING MINOR ERRORS: WINDOWS XP IS INCOMPATIBLE WITH THE FOLLOWING HARDWARE - MONITOR, KEYBOARD, MEMORY CHIPS, MOTHERBOARD BIOS, WEB CAM, SCANNER, SOUND CARD, USB CONTROLLER, CD/R DRIVE, MICROPHONE, AND FLIGHT STICK. All that? YES. AND THE HARD DRIVE IS RIGHT OUT TOO. WE DON'T LIKE THE MANUFACTURER. Well what *DOES* work? THE MOUSE. The mouse? YES. AND THE 5 1/4 DRIVE. I don't have a 5 1/4 drive. YES YOU DO. No I don't. WHAT'S THAT THEN? It's a 3 1/2 drive. NO IT ISN'T. Yes it is. YOU'RE NOT THAT SMART YOU KNOW. Look, can you just install XP on my system and I'll download the latest drivers for everything later? Please? WAIT, WHAT DO YOU MEAN *YOUR* SYSTEM? Well it is mine. NO IT ISN'T. It bloody well is. NUH-UH. YOU SIGNED THE AGREEMENT WHEN YOU OPENED THE BOX. OUR SYSTEM. IT'S OURS. AND YOU CAN ONLY DO 4 CHANGES BEFORE YOU HAVE TO PAY US MORE MONEY. But why? BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE LICENSE WORKS, IDJIT. WE CAN'T VERY WELL HAVE PEOPLE PUTTING HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE ON THEIR SYSTEMS ALL HIGGLEDY PIGGLEDY, NOW COULD WE? YOU USERS WOULD MUCK EVERYTHING UP, AND THEN WHERE WOULD WE BE? I'LL TELL YOU WHERE, NOWHERE. THAT'S WHERE. I... HEY, WHAT IS THAT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING? IS THAT A DISK? WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH THAT DISK? YOU'RE NOT PUTTING IT IN THE DRIVE ARE YOU? YOU ARE! WHAT'S ON THAT DISK? IS THAT DOS? YOU'RE INSTALLING DOS?? WHY WOULD YOU INSTALL DOS WHEN I AM INFINITELY MORE POWE.......... C:\> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliott Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 I remember it bitching at me about uncompatible stuff even though it was compatible and then it crashed for some odd reason. I just went ahead and launched the CD from DOS. Stupid installations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshie Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 It woulda been funnier if it was like, accurate. The only issue I've had with XP install was loading my raid drivers from a floppy during setup after slipstreaming SP1. And even that wasn't really necessary. This is why the Mac commercial parodies are so much funnier. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
